Migrating from TurboWarp
MistWarp is built on TurboWarp, so if you already use TurboWarp the editor will look and behave almost identically. The compiler, arbitrary frame rate, custom stage size, addons, themes, restore points, packager, and advanced settings all carry over and work the way you expect. Projects are the same .sb3 format, and TurboWarp projects open in MistWarp directly through File then Load from your computer.
This page focuses on what MistWarp adds on top of TurboWarp.
Community platform and Rotur accounts
The biggest addition is a full community platform. The MistWarp editor and community site ship from one build, so publishing, profiles, and browsing projects are built into the same application.
- You sign in with a Rotur account. From the menu bar you can save a project straight to your account with File then Save to MistWarp, then open its project page.
- Signed in, you get a profile, notifications, and social features (following, comments, and posts).
- Your settings and themes sync across devices while you are signed in.
You do not need an account to build, run, package, or save projects locally, exactly as in TurboWarp. The account only adds the community side. See Project management.
Extra blocks and extensions
MistWarp includes additional blocks and extensions beyond TurboWarp's set. Browse them in Extensions overview and MistWarp extras.
Version history
MistWarp creates version history when you save a project to your account. Later saves ask for a short description, and the project page lets you browse or restore old versions. Advanced users can add branches and repository connections under Tools, Version history. See Version history.
Live collaboration
MistWarp adds real-time collaboration: multiple people can edit the same project together and see each other's presence in the editor. See Collaboration.
Debugger
MistWarp includes a debugger for inspecting a running project, stepping through execution, and watching state, which goes beyond TurboWarp's standard tooling. See Debugger.
Themes and addons
TurboWarp's addon and theme systems are present and extended. MistWarp ships its own themes (including custom color schemes) and its own selection of addons. See Themes and Addons.
What is the same
- The blocks, the compiler, and the runtime behavior. See Blocks overview.
- Advanced settings such as Custom FPS, Custom stage size, High quality pen, Interpolation, and Remove limits.
- The Packager for building standalone versions of a project.
- URL parameters, embedding, and cloud variables. See URL parameters, Embedding, and Cloud variables.
